Methods, particularly computer-implemented methods, are provided for
analyzing, labeling, reporting, and certifying the radiocarbon abundance
levels of low radiocarbon food products, including relevant chemical
components of final products as well as components of lots used in
manufacturing, so that manufacturers, consumers or other users of these
products can have high confidence in their stated radiocarbon content and
a better understanding of their potential effectiveness in reducing
genetic damage. Other embodiments employ an algorithm to calculate an
overall value or grade or range indicative of the product's known or
estimated ability to either reduce the radiocarbon level of, or to reduce
genetic damage occurring in, newly formed chromosomal material in
consumers of such products, the chromosomal material comprising DNA and
histone proteins and remote access by consumers to the
computer-implemented methods, for example, via the Internet.
